Lorain County GOP commissioners shamelessly claw back money from food bank, crisis shelter, others: Leila Atassi Leila Atassi, cleveland.com
ELYRIA, Ohio – Julie Chase-Morefield was thrilled when she heard the news in late December that her nonprofit, Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio, would soon receive a share of $4.6 million from Lorain County, after her agency had supported the community through a year like none in recent history.
In 2020, while the pandemic raged on, Second Harvest had provided food for 154,000 people nearly twice the number the organization had served the year before. That’s about a third of the population in its service region, Chase-Morefield told me. With the $236,000, Second Harvest had planned to set up more drive-through distribution sites in underserved areas and help its partner pantries expand capacity with more food, shelving and cold storage.
The show, which can be viewed virtually through May, includes 60 portraits of former First Ladies, spanning all of U.S. history from Martha Washington to Melania Trump.

AVON LAKE, Ohio The Avon Lake Public Library (ALPL) is a gem in the city and worthy of a long celebration to commemorate its 90th anniversary.
What started from humble beginnings in February 1931 in a small house near the current high school building has evolved over the years and continues to serve the community even during a pandemic.

Leibas thanked everyone for their participation, and the commissioners for starting the Alliance. I think it s well needed in this area; it s been well needed in this area for a long time coming, he said. I really appreciate the push at putting this forward.
